Description
The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) LEOLSTCMG30 version 2 Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) product provides Land Surface Temperature (LST) derived from the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite data record from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instruments as well as LST error estimates for both day and night. The MEaSUREs LEOLST product is generated by regridding the monthly CMG products from Aqua MODIS (MYD21C3) and VIIRS (VNP21C3 and VJ121).
The product is available on 0.25, 0.5, and 1 degree optimized climate grids with well characterized per-pixel uncertainties. A low-resolution browse is also available showing LST as an RGB (red, green, blue) image in PNG format.
Improvements/Changes from Previous Version
- Corrected an issue with nighttime LST error estimates (LST_Nighterr*) in the one degree, half degree, and quarter degree SDS layers that were erroneously filled with zero values.
